Goal
🚨 Help Us Help Rose and Precious
Rose is only 18 years old—an exhausted teenage mum, blind in one eye, struggling to protect her boisterous one-year-old baby boy.
Her owner, who runs a small camp in the hills of Chiang Mai, has seen tourism collapse. He can no longer keep his camp open. The decision to sell his elephants is no longer a possibility—it is imminent.
A breeder has offered a large sum of money for Rose.
The breeder does not want her baby.
At the same time, a tourism camp in Chiang Mai city wants the baby—alone—to entertain tourists.
If Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary does not act now, Mama Rose and her baby will be torn apart—possibly within days—and will never see each other again.
This separation is permanent. The trauma is irreversible.
We have a narrow window to intervene.
We have the power to keep this mother and child together—but only if we act immediately.
U.S. donations are tax-deductible and may offer tax benefits.
If you are able to donate over $500, please email us directly regarding a wire transfer option for fee savings. Melinda Pharr at eleinitatx@gmail.com
This campaign is powered by The Elephant Initiative, a U.S. nonprofit, in support of Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary (BLES).

Please keep this most precious pair together, it is unbearable to think they may be separated both into a life of misery and solitude.
